mONOPOLY MUST GO.

The number Of mo nopolies that

try, their rapacity, the audacious bold.
ness with which they extort from the
public, their Disregard for justice.
their many oppressive deeds, and the
intense, concentrated, all-devouring
selfishneas that is innate with them,
annihilatiug conscience and tram pling
down opposing moral obligation and
moral principle, Is srouslng spirit OF
indignation among our citizens they
will, before long, find to be irresist-
ible. Here a monopoly puts its hand
on petroleum, there on coal, some
where else on cotton SseedSoil and

telephone. The people are made
to pay far beyond value for
very much they have to buy,
and the monopo IL ,rs who defraud and
rob them turn out their crop Of mil.
lionaires as the grand result. For
these Wholesale frauds and theits and
impositons upon the people the law
has no remedy. The monopolizer

and justice, as expressedin law, mainly
leaves them helpless. Instances CO.
cur now and then, however, that show
the direction in which the coming cur
rent Of public indignation is setting.
AS an instance, we may mention a bill
that has been introduced into the New
York Legislature, which may or may
not receive attention, but which is
certsiuly iorerunuer OF what
is coming. II declares that

A aAaa.RIsn PASSING AWAY.


IL is singular how debssed and cruel
things are retained, even among kind
and ref ned people, If they have only
been long in existence. Among such
customs is our way Of putting MUIR
derers to death. 1t is barbarous, every
mind revo.ts at its savagery, and every
heart protests against its cruelty. Yet
the custom is still allowed to exist.
For what resson2 For none. The
custom is followed now simply be-
cause II has been the custom. There
has been some thinking done on the
point, however. and commission ap-
pointed by the New York Legislature
for the purpose, have Investigated the
matter. They have examined Judges,
Sheriffs, jailors, and executioners. In
their report they utterly condemn the
rope and the gallOws, as fl; only for
the middle sgsS. They recommend
that instantaneous extinction by cleo
tricity, killing as the Lightning kills,
be sub tituted for it. That dsath
by this system is both instan-
taneous and painless has been
many times proved by killing animals
in the slme way. The condemned
sits down upon a chair which is con-
nected with battery. The moment
the current ia turned on he is dead.
Some would have this done within the
prison, allowing no public execution.
A bill to use electricity will be placed
before the New York Legislature. a
similar one, sbolishing the dreadful
guilotine. before the French Assem-
bly,, and New Jersey ha, appointed a

These are indications that an old and
brutal custom, which it is a disgrace
to us to have preserved, is at last pass
ing away, as It should do.

the duties OF chamber maid, cook,

OF a domestic's work. The institution
has been managed by thoroughly
